I've seen Avary at a convention, along with Rene and I think Nana and Armin, saw Michael as well
A couple of people have mentioned being to conns and getting autographs in the Odo/Kira thread. I've never been to a convention myself.

Anybody have a suggestion for a title?

One of my top fave Star Trek actors that I loved meeting has to be Marina Sirtis. I met her at LexCon a couple years ago, and I had just started writing my novel Ares Redemption. She had no one in her line, so my bestie Heather and shamelessly monopolized her time! Lol! The three of us were talking, and somehow we got on to the subject of doing all the fun things when one is young. My automatic reply to that was: "All the fun things happen in my head. I'm a writer" Then, Marina being the sweetheart that she is, asked me what it was that I was writing. I told her all about my latest novel idea (Ares Redemption). She really loved the idea and told me that it would be a great screenplay. That inspired me to keep going with it. And now the first book is finished, getting polished up, and being followed by books 2, 3, and 4, with a novella to give the happy ever after and tie back to book one!

aw, she does seem like a genuinely nice person. It's wonderful that she took so much time with you and connected on such a personal level.

ETA: Just came across this lovely quote

Quote:
“Sometimes people in show business forget why we have lovely lives,” said Sirtis. “We owe it to the people who turned on their TV sets for seven years and paid money to go see [the movies]. We owe everything to you. As a group, you have given us our houses and car. God bless you all. I don’t know if we’ll never be able to pay you back.”

That's the one thing I love most about Cons. The actors will take the time (lines permitting) to talk. For Marina, she had no one lined up waiting to meet her, and Heather and I, who are major trekkie geeks, we felt bad that sh was just sitting there. So, so we went over and just talked to her.

But yes Marina is a genuinely lovely soul!

Last year at LexCon, Heather and I got to meet Adrienne Wilkinson. She was in Xena: Warrior Princess, Star Wars Cartoon (one of the voices) And she has been recently attached to the Skye Conway project Renegades (formerly Star Trek: Renegades) As Lexxa Singh. All weekend we stopped by her table to chat with her, and on the last day, she told us that we basically made her whole weekend special just by coming by and seeing her.
